Data-Informed Advocacy in Action
examples of my own professional impact
School Context
Oceanside Collegiate
Challenge: Equity gaps in scholarship access and first-generation student support.
Outcome: Data driven initiative led to a significant increase in scholarships over the previous year.
District Context

Challenge: Disconnected post-secondary planning and low counselor visibility.
Outcome: ASCA-aligned programming resulted in a district level school counseling program, significant increase in student services, measureable reduction in truancy, and significant reduction in discipline referrals.
Program Audit
Cane Bay High
Challenge: Outdated systemic interventions that failed to address current student social-emotional needs.
Outcome: Comprehensive audit and restructuring led to a measurable decrease in discipline referrals and a significant increase in academic achievement. Recognized ASCA Model Program status was achieved.
